Where the Kappa Roam is one of the earliest Side Cases in Lost Judgment, but it’s also one of the most frustrating ones to complete if you’re trying to finish it all at once. Yagami has seven Kappa Statues to find. But because they’re scattered throughout the massive Yokohama map, finding them can be a real chore. Below, we list all seven Kappa locations you need to get some easy cash and experience.

How to start the “Where the Kappa Roam” Side Case

To start the “Where the Kappa Roam” Side Case, look for a little folder icon on your map at this spot on N. Sakura River St. It’ll be marked with “???” on it.

The quest begins here, on N. Sakura River St.

When you get there, you’ll encounter a man named Shimizu who attacks you with a large statue. Take him down with a little bit of muscle. He doesn’t put up too much of a fight.

Fight Shimizu to find out what’s up with the Kappa Statue he’s wielding.

After the altercation, you’ll be introduced to a man named Kodama who explains that he has placed the statues around Yokohama as part of an advertising campaign and, for some reason, the residents of the area have taken pleasure in stealing them. As described above, it’s Yagami’s duty as a detective to locate seven Kappa statues to ensure Kodama’s business deal goes off without a hitch.

Can you help Kodama find all seven of his Kappa Statues?

After this plot is introduced the keyword “kappa” is added to your Buzz Researcher app as a means of potentially helping you locate the lost statues. You can always use this method if you like, but hopefully, our maps can point you in the right direction without ever having to do so.
